Your BOB must

Okay, say you have a Bug out Bag with food and water for 72 hours, enough clothing to keep you warm, firearm/ammo of your choice, and some means for starting a fire. What is the one other thing you would put in your bag if you only had room for that one item?

Well I don't have a BOB per say, but I do keep a backpack for hiking and camping which is always loaded with enough dehydrated food stuff and energy bars for several days. The only item I can think of that has not been mentioned here is Fire Steel. Basically a flint rod and flat steel to strike the flint to start fires for camp, cooking, or signal fires if need be. I also keep for fire starting a small pack of solid fule cubes which I slice a little off a cube to help start the fire. Fuel cubes help alot in wet contitions.

I have a 26 watt fold out soft solar panel that will recharge and run some electronic devices, such as a laptop, cell phone, protable radio, I-Pod, hand held gps, etc... It folds down to about the size of a small laptop case and is very light in weight.

A bigger Bug Out Bag??

I got the BIG brother to this baby, in Black, as my BOB. It's got enough room for most of my gun safe, all my ammo, a complete 3 day survival pack, a complete medical kit and everything listed above, plus a few extras.

Hopefully you won't run into any fast moving targets. That is unless your gun safe and ammo consist of a 1911 or 2 and 100 rounds. Judging by your posts though I find that highly unlikely. Wait a minute... why do you need a gun safe and ammo if you don't have any firearms left after that tragic boating accident??
